Chef Joshua Golden has made a solid life for himself in Paris, leaving the pain and trauma of his past in the United States behind. But that doesn't stop him from coming home to help run his parents' restaurant while his mother undergoes and recovers from surgery. What he doesn't expect is to run into the person responsible for the pain he's tried to forget--Micah Solomon--to be staying at his parents' house when he arrives. It's almost too much to bear, but he's not one to leave his family in the lurch. It's only two weeks--he can ignore Micah for that long, right? But it turns out it's not as easy to leave the past behind us as Josh hopes...and as he learns more about Micah's situation and the truth behind their sordid past, he can't help but wonder if there just might be a future.

The fact that this is part of a series called "Delectable" seems utterly appropriate. There is a sweetness to this story that is situated well between a sense of edginess that is present at the same time. I am certainly interested in seeing more collaborations between these two authors. ( )

I hated that Josh was so mean to Micah through most of the book, only for him to kiss Micah and decide that the past didn't matter all of a sudden, and without even an explanation of what happened in the past, Josh wanted to be with Micah. ( )
